I Did It for You by Amy Engel took a minute to get going, but when it did, I was here for it! I blew through this in one day because I couldn't wait to find out what Greer would discover. It managed to be very atmospheric, and it is definitely character-driven, so it is a bit on the slower side, but I thought the pacing was just right and I was fully invested in Greer and the story. I had no idea how this was going to play out, and while I can't say I was SUPER surprised when the climax hit, I wasn't disappointed by it either.

This is my first time reading Engel, but it has me itching to go back to The Roanoke Girls and The Familiar Dark which I will no longer be putting off! I Did It for You was perfect for audio as well, and I adored having 3 different narrators. Sean Patrick Hopkins, Amanda Stribling & Jennifer Pickens all did a fantastic job with their parts, and I would highly recommend the audiobook for maximum enjoyment. This made me feel very unsettled while I was listening to it, and you will want to make sure to stick it out for the twists and turns.

Thank you to the publishers for my complimentary listening and reader copies of this book. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
